During the relief of Vienna IV a damaged blockade runner was forced out
of
it's convoy and pursued by a number of small escorts, the 'runner was
carrying no amaments of it's own, having been stripped for speed and
cargo
capacity. It had in it's holds only a supply of frozen food and military
demolitions charges. Thinking fast, the ship's cargo master began
maglocking
half ton cargo pods of frozen food and demo charges together, along with
a
crude proximity fuse. Out the hatch these went, providing the pursuing
ships
with a nasty surprise. Ironically, the ship was destroyed when one of
the
fuses detonated prematurely while being manhandled out of the hold.

Enjoy,
